Kings Under Review: Marvin Bagley takes game to new heights against Suns

The Sacramento Kings finished their season-long six-game homestand Sunday evening with another victory to finish the block at 5-1.

Don't look now, but Marvin Bagley III is coming into his own with career game against the Suns

In 24.2 minutes per game, he's fourth on the team with 13.3 points per game, which is also sixth among all rookies. Kings fans may be disappointed that they passed on Doncic — what with his triple-doubles, creative passes and knack for clutch shots — but since returning from a knee injury that sidelined him for 12 games, Bagley has taken things to another level. In the 15 games since his return, Bagley is averaging 14.8 points per game, and that mark is up to 16.7 points per game in the nine games since his minutes returned to normal and he first cracked the 30 minutes mark.13 Feb @ 3AM
